AWS engineer Clare Liguori explains the model-driven design behind the Strands Agents SDK and lessons from building production AI agents.
Back-End Engineering in 2026: APIs Give Way to Agent Orchestration
Back-end engineering in 2026 shifts from stateless APIs to agentic systems: orchestration, async tasks, tool governance, and reasoning traces.
Stop Fine-Tuning Everything: A Framework for Model Adaptation
A decision framework for choosing between prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, and domain pre-training when adapting foundation models.
CommitBrief — AI code reviews, right in your terminal
A provider-agnostic, local-first CLI that reviews your staged changes, a historic range, or a whole GitHub pull request. Zero telemetry, no server. Free and open source.
commitbrief.comHow AI Pinpointed the Root Cause of a Multi-Region K8s Outage
How Trendyol used an LLM to trace a multi-region Kubernetes outage to a systemd upgrade bug in under an hour, sifting 200MB of logs.
Belay: a local firewall for AI coding agents
Belay is an open-source, local-first security layer that gates AI coding agent tool calls, blocking secret leaks and destructive commands in real time.
freeq ties AI model spend to identity, not shared API keys
freeq extends its DID-based protocol to gate AI model spend by identity, letting agents borrow bounded capacity without sharing API keys.
AI Doesn't Replace Architecture — It Makes It More Valuable
AI made code generation cheap, but not the architectural decisions behind it. Why the bottleneck shifted from typing to deciding for engineers.
Speculative Decoding: The Free Speedup Most Local LLM Setups Skip
Speculative decoding speeds up local LLM inference 1.5-2.5x with identical output; 2026 saw it built into models via multi-token prediction.
AI Coding Agents Are Absorbing the Leaves, Not the Whole Tree
SWE-bench and METR data track fast AI coding gains, but verification cost — not raw difficulty — still defines where agents stop.
Relay: A Self-Hosted LLM Gateway With Eval-Gated Smart Routing
Relay is a self-hosted, single-binary LLM gateway with zero telemetry and an eval harness that gates smart routing by default.
